Abstract

This article presents a quantitative analysis of mentions to cancer on Instagram. Using thousands of images with cancer-related hashtags, we build several visualisations to capture their distribution. Source images are clustered by their visual traits and by the incidence, prevalence, and mortality of the cancer site they refer to. Our goal is three-fold: to provide a quantitative basis for future research on the representation of cancer online; to offer an interpretation of the sources of the imbalanced representation of the different cancer sites; and to motivate a debate on how that representation may affect patients and families.

谁的癌症?可视化在instagram上提到癌症网站的分布。

这篇文章对Instagram上提到癌症的次数进行了定量分析。使用数千张带有癌症相关标签的图像，我们构建了几个可视化图像来捕捉它们的分布。源图像根据其视觉特征以及它们所涉及的癌症部位的发病率、患病率和死亡率进行聚类。我们的目标有三个方面:为未来的癌症在线表征研究提供定量基础;对不同癌症部位不平衡表现的来源进行解释;并激发一场关于这种代表如何影响患者和家属的辩论。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
